## Resource

Seattle’s top cop, Chief Shon Barnes, has resigned amid mounting pressure over his handling of the deadly Bite of Seattle festival shooting — a delay that sparked public outrage and prompted the mayor to demand his exit. Deputy Chief Andre Sayles, a seasoned 20-year law enforcement veteran with a track record of reducing shootings and engaging youth, is now stepping in as interim chief. A major press conference at City Hall Friday will detail the leadership transition and the search for a permanent chief, as the city grapples with accountability and reform.
